I tried the runtbird.sh script, hoping for more info - all it did was show that auth is failing. I don't understand why Dovecot is separating the username from the domain name, and trying to match only on the username. Seems like there must be a config setting that affects this and that I'm overlooking. Thanks ahead for any help with this.

Attempting IMAP SSL login on new installation, using Icedove (Debain Thunderbird variant), login fails. Logs show Dovecot attempting to match username only, not username with domain name, on Vpopmail user, so of course no match. Tried with '@' in full username, also with '%'. What's missing?

Log shows:
